Creating a unique named CSV in Form...
Trying to modify code in form.cfg.php to allow a unique named csv.
I'm creating a variable based on date & ip ($filen)
Need to replace the code "filename" : "xxx.csv",
with "filename" : $filen,
Any ideas, Thanks
<?php
$stamp = date("Ymdhis");
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$orderid = "$stamp-$ip";
$orderid = str_replace(".", "", "$orderid");
$ext = ".csv";
$filen = "$orderid$ext";
?>
<?php exit(0); ?> {
"settings":
{
"data_settings" :
{
"save_file" :
{
"filename" : "xxx.csv",
"is_present" : true
},

When you setup the form it should give a unique name to the csv.

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

You can name the .csv file within the form and each submit appends the .csv.
I want a new .csv for each submit. Thanks

How are you using the data that you need a different named csv?

I agree Eric it does seem a strange request as with php you can get the last entry with this script. One I created for one task I had to do. It finds the last entry then a chosen item from the record.
Alternately you could use a database and have an easier choice of selecting what you want
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
$file_handle = fopen("http://path/results.csv", "r");// the address where the file is located
while (!feof($file_handle)){
$item = fgetcsv($file_handle, 1024);
if($item=="")Break;// make sure the last entry is used
$lastitem=$item;
}
fclose($file_handle);
$option= $lastitem[0]; //note the number is the position of the data you want
?>

$item = fgetcsv($file_handle, 1024);
